Manipulative Wanda

[michael-the-car.livejournal.com]

is there any fic that reveals that Wanda has manipulated Clint to be totally on her side ever since her brother's death? It's always bothered me the way Clint has put her before his own kids and how he treats her like a poor bullied victim and not the person responsible for her actions.

well, there's Chasing Ideal series by Kizmet, where Wanda's influence is used as an excuse for every shitty behavior of everybody ever. It doesn't come into play until somewhere around chapter 11 or 12 of "Uncompromising Principles" though, and while I like most of reasoning and criticism included in this fic, the author's treatment of Wanda's character is the one thing I dislike, so... read at your own discretion?

I can't think of any and I read/write a lot in the Maximoff fandom. I've written a few things where Wanda and Pietro think/fear that Wanda's used her powers on Pietro but Clint never really comes up as a problem, as... I think the reading we're supposed to get is that a) Clint feels guilty for Pietro's death saving him and b) in CACW it's not just for Wanda that he's acting? IDK, you'd have to ask the writers. But I can't think of any, and I've written and read a lot re: the Maximoffs, including stuff where one or both of them are manipulative in some fashion.

There is at least one I've read--I remember a scene where Rhodes is piloting a jet and Carol (Captain Marvel) is down on the ground fighting an enhanced person, and somehow Vision figures out that Wanda has been manipulating Clint's mind the whole time (and maybe the rest of Team Cap, too), but not exactly on purpose? Clint is really angry when he finds out and tries to attack Wanda. When I get home from work, I'll see if I can find it.

that's "Uncompromising Principles" I linked above. :)

Ha ha. Thanks. I could only remember that one scene. ;-)

The focus is on Steve but it has Wanda unconsciously manipulating the Avengers to hate Tony because that is how she feels about him. To the point that Clint abandons his family to rejoin the team, specifically Wanda.
